A young man wearing a Hollister T-shirt, shorts and sandals picked up election signs Wednesday in Rice Lake, Wis. The 19-year-old wasn't a campaign volunteer. Romaine Quinn is the new mayor.
Quinn, who served one year on the Rice Lake City Council before being elected mayor on Tuesday, said, "Age, I don't think, necessarily makes a difference, I mean, it's about the issues."
Judging by the talk at Maxine's restaurant, he might be right.
"Apparently, a lot of people wanted change," said 78-year-old Del Hanson, who voted for Quinn.

Excerpt from recent speech:
“Dudes and dudesses.... Today is cool. So, I declare it be party day... dude...
Thanks ....”
Well he probably has more experience for the job then Barrack did for his.
yes, let’s roll up the sidewalks and party! ;)
.
He’s named after a type of lettuce?
I can’t believe someone so unqualified and inexperienced got elected.
But I guess we’re stuck with Obama until 2012.
“Age, I don’t think, necessarily makes a difference, I mean, it’s about the issues.”

Where have I heard this before.....?
Oh yes, I remember:
________, I don’t think, necessarily makes a difference, I mean, it’s about the issues.
A. Business experience
B. Diplomatic experience
C. Military experience
D. Federal legislative experience
E. Country of birth
F. Automobile manufacturing experience
G. Healthcare experience
I wonder if he has siblings named Arugula and Butterhead.
Well, I guess as long as the mayor has no role in foreign or military policy, that should work out OK.
Strange name, Mr. Quinn.
At least his favorite green isn't arugula.
Interestingly, it seems that sidewalks were the issue that propelled the kid into office. He and the voters thought they were bogus.
It's an Italian family. "Butterhead" is just his nickname for Radicchio.
The idiots in this ward elcted an 18yo as our democratic city council member. I thought that was really stupid but what do you expect from clueless democrats?
age and experience can make a huge difference
LOL, that made the night shift in Iraq much more bearable. Thanks
This guy looks like he bears some watching. What is he doing in 15 years?
Right, that’s why I said it. ;)
